Lemonade Posted January 2, 2012 Report Share Posted January 2, 2012 Put the mirror back? get another picture? Polyfilla is probably the best bet thoughI thought Polyfilla was just for little holes made by like, nails and screws and stuff. What do I do with it?

MattJimF Posted January 2, 2012 Report Share Posted January 2, 2012 Never used it personally, I've always just made holes, never had to fill them in. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alan Cynic Posted January 2, 2012 Report Share Posted January 2, 2012 Mix up enough polyfilla (not too runny) to fill the hole, scoop it in with anything handy (ideally a spatula), then scrape it flat with the same tool, or a bit of hardboard, or a ruler, etc To get a smooth finish wipe over it just before it dries with a damp sponge. If there are still some gaps, repeat the process. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Frosty Jack Posted January 2, 2012 Author Report Share Posted January 2, 2012 I moved a mirror the other day in my living room to find a hole about the size of a matchbox in the wall behind it. How do I fix this?Put a matchbox in it?Actually (presuming it's a plaster wall) if it is too big for just polyfilla on its own, you can put a bit of wire mesh in to act as a base for the filler to hold on to. Be like this guy, he's cool.http://www.videojug.com/film/how-to-repair-holes-in-plasterboard Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lemonade Posted January 9, 2012 Report Share Posted January 9, 2012 Take the back roads to the airport from BOD, out the B997 towards Parkhill. That would be a lovely country cycle. It's kinda hilly though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alphas Posted January 10, 2012 Report Share Posted January 10, 2012 Why are clear penalties in football known as stonewallers? What have walls and stones got to do with a handball?! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Soda Jerk Posted January 10, 2012 Report Share Posted January 10, 2012 Isn't it originally a cricket term, which was then transferred over to football, despite it not really relating to the sport?I bet Woods knows.

Woodsinho Posted January 10, 2012 Report Share Posted January 10, 2012 It comes from people being stupid. It was originally stone-cold penalty as in stone-cold certain rather than Steve Austin. Commentators starting getting things messed up, as they do, and calling it stonewall and it caught on from there.Although Stone Cold Steve Austin also works and that's the bottom line because he says so. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
neepheid Posted January 10, 2012 Report Share Posted January 10, 2012 Why are clear penalties in football known as stonewallers? What have walls and stones got to do with a handball?!The best I can (quickly - I'm on my second pint of homebrew and I have no idea how strong it is but I'm getting the buzzzz) find is this:STONEWALL - WHERE DID IT COME FROM?What is the first recorded use of the word "stonewall" to mean "absolutely certain", as in "it was a stonewall penalty"? The Chambers Dictionary lists "stonewall" as a verb, not an adjective.asked Seamus McCann last week."I believe that stonewalling was originally an Australian term used by politicians for delaying tactics," says Ray Routledge. "There was also an American Civil War general, Thomas Jackson, who was nicknamed Stonewall because during the Battle of Bull Run in 1861 he stood firm, 'like a stone wall'. In a sporting context I think it was first applied in cricket when a batsman would play constant defensive shots, blocking every delivery so as to minimise the risk of getting out."But Mark Power claims: "Chambers is right: "stonewall" is a verb, as in "to block obdurately, or Defensively". I suspect what Seamus or Ron have seen is a stone-cold penalty, as in "dead obvious", or "a no-brainer".From http://www.guardian.co.uk/football/2000/dec/13/newsstory.sport5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
